and in this essay, I will reaffirm my statement of why I’ll never go skydiving thank you!!!

this story got a lot of hate but I was invested in it from start to finish! following a bit of a gruesome start (someone literally gets unalived by a tractor), the mystery is on to see if this was a freak accident or suspicious behavior…

I loved the inclusion of an outside character to provide the details and overall viewpoint - and to create added tension and suspense of course! while I did figure out who the true target was, I enjoyed how it all played out

and my biggest complaint was that it wasn’t longer!! it felt rushed, even for a short story, and I would have really enjoyed a full length investigative plot with fleshed out characters!
